Lyrics
[Intro] [Wood adze shaving timber & distant thunder rumble]
Hebrews chapter eleven, verse seven. Genesis chapter six.
By faith Noah, warned of things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark.
[Verse 1] [Fingerpicked 12-String Guitar & Warm Cello]
Upon the scorched and dusty plains where rain had never poured
Noah lifted up his eyes and listened to the Lord
Surrounded by the mocking crowd who laughed through every day
He measured out the gopher wood and walked the narrow way
Three hundred cubits long and wide beneath the burning sun
He worked until the sacred task of righteousness was done
With pitch inside and pitch without to face the rising flood
Trusting in the living God whose covenant is good
[Pre-Chorus] [Felt Piano & Deep Bass Drone]
Not by the wisdom of the world
nor what the eyes could see
He held the promise of our God into eternity
[Chorus] [Sacred Resonant Epic Drop]
Hammering the gopher wood in faithful holy fear
Knowing that the judgment and deliverance were near!
He walked with Elohim on high through ridicule and scorn
Holding fast the covenant until the righteous morn!
Stand firm in faith, obey the Word, let pure devotion rise
Noah the heir of righteousness beneath the open skies!
[Verse 2] [Acoustic Guitar Chops & Tenor Lead]
The skies grew black, the clouds unlocked, the deep fountains broke through
While Noah and his family rested safe within the blue
Borne up upon the surging deep above the mountain peak
Preserved by Elohim who shields the humble and the meek
[Bridge] [Soaring Tenor Belt & Full Sacred Choir]
Oh, faith is the assurance of the things we hope to see!
The evidence of unseen truth through all eternity!
Obedience, reverence, covenant and holy grace
Carried through the waters to a consecrated place!
[Chorus] [Full Grand Epic Climax]
Hammering the gopher wood in faithful holy fear
Knowing that the judgment and deliverance were near!
He walked with Elohim on high through ridicule and scorn
Holding fast the covenant until the righteous morn!
Stand firm in faith, obey the Word, let pure devotion rise
Noah the heir of righteousness beneath the open skies!
[Outro] [Rain Falling & Soft Organ Chords]
Hebrews eleven, verse seven...
By faith Noah. Amen.
[Fade Out]
